Author: ashley | Posted: 23.05.2012Scuba Diving, Egypt
Adventure holidays don't just have to be a family affair. Friends and couples who love to see the sights of a new country whilst taking part in something more active can take a trip to Egypt. In particular, Hurghada on the Red Sea coast of Egypt is a great scuba diving spot and you can view the spectacular ocean life such as barracudas, colourful reef fish and the turtles. There are opportunities to take boat dives around the Giftun Islands and you can also see the wreck of El Mina. Responsible travel is always important, so remember to get insured before you go on this type of holiday, especially when taking part in dangerous sports or activities.
Husky Sleighs, Lapland
Adventure holidays are a terrific shared experience for family and friends and they don't have to take place in the summer time. Lapland has lots to offer for a magical winter holiday including husky sleigh rides and reindeer sleigh rides for those pioneering souls. The scenery alone feels endless and you can experience it all in one go with one of these adventurous trips.
Camel Trekking, Tunisia
The beautiful Sahara Desert stretches for miles and a camel trek is just one of the ways to see it. There are even Bedouin style tents to stay in if the heat gets too much. Take a trek across the endless salt flats of Chott el Djerid and see the oases filled with beautiful palm trees and lakes.
Florida Keys
If organised adventure tours are more suitable for you, a trip to the Florida Keys may be your ideal holiday destination. There are endless opportunities for adventure here including the fascinating bicycle trips around Key West Old Town or take a daring gator hike through the Everglades. Kayaking in the Florida Keys is another memorable experience.
North America
A fabulous destination for adventure, Pennsylvania is one of the best places to enjoy a range of activities on your holiday. Why not travel along the Susquehanna River Water Trail by canoe? There is some stunning scenery to behold. You can also explore and hike through the Golden Valleys and Blue Mountains for some spectacular picture opportunities. There are also opportunities to go hunting or fishing in the area if you like to be at one with nature. If being more active is your idea of a great holiday, you can go skiing here too.
Explore the world in a completely unique way with adventure travel and witness some of the best exotic locations on a hike, in a canoe or from the back of a camel. Activity holidays are a great alternative for families and friends alike to enjoy the sense of freedom and adventure.
